Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change by Xixi Wang Paperback Book

Description: Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change by Xixi Wang Water-Soil-Vegetation Nexus and Climate Change presents an overview of research needs and approaches regarding water-soil-vegetation nexus and climate change. The book includes chapters discussing water budget and factors that affect hydrologic processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, soil water, and groundwater, in addition to a focus on consumptive (e.g., domestic and irrigation) and non-consumptive (e.g., eco-environmental) water uses, and water shortage. Throughout the book, chapters specifically deal with the fundamental principles and also case studies, applications, and decision support tools that can be usable for developing practical management measures in sustaining our eco-environment and society by maintaining an optimal water-soil-vegetation equilibrium. Written with water resources students and professors in mind, this book will provide the reader with further knowledge on the water-soil-vegetation nexus and its connection to climate change. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Xixi Wang is an Associate Professor in Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. Xixis current areas of research focus on effects of climate change versus human activity on water resources, water-soil-vegetation nexus and equilibrium in changing climate, and watershed hydrology and stormwater management. Xixi has served at the Principal Investigator on several research grants focused on water-soil-vegetation nexus and spatiotemporal variations of precipitation as influenced by nonstationary climate. He has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed research papers, books, and book chapters, including several on precipitation trend and frequency analyses. He earned his bachelors (1989) and masters (1993) degrees in Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering from Tsinghua University, and holds a doctoral (2001) degree in Agricultural Engineering from Iowa State University. Xixi has been a registered professional engineer in North Dakota (#5145) since 2003 and Texas (#99798) between 2007 and 2011. Table of Contents 1. Editorial Comment 2.
